Not too sure how I feel about this…
On Saturday, I convinced Brent to run part of my planned twelve mile run. I figured I could come up with a nice six mile loop that would bring us back by the house. Brent was unsure if he could really run any more than this. In the last month, he has only been running…

Flexibility
Flexibility, that is what I have decided that I need throughout this winter. The other day I wrote a blog pretty much just complaining about the effects of snow on my running. Those days that I have my runs planned and then they get ruined by weather are hard on me. I look forward to…

It’s a love hate relationship between me and the snow.
Yesterday afternoon I was looking outside my window at work watching the snow start to fly. It looked beautiful, but I had skipped my lunch run in hopes to get a run in with Brent after work. If we do not run together, he just does not run. Which is fine. That is why I…

And the mystery is…
And the mystery is… I registered for my second marathon yesterday! I know. You all thought that it was going to be something much more exciting than this, but it is exciting! Since Portland, I had decided that I wanted to find my next marathon asap. I wanted to find one over near the east…

Forty Chilly Minutes
This past weekend, we headed up to Shelby, Montana to visit our close friend Scott. Saturday morning, I found myself awake but alone. I sat around pondering if I would have time to go on a short run before the guys awoke. I did not want them to wake up and I not be around…

Our Trail or Bear Territory?
On Halloween night, we went out to our trail. We are trying to get all the runs in on our trail before the snow starts flying. Which normally, has already happened. We have had a long fall here in Montana and Brent and I have been loving every bit of it. The colors on our…

Calculations
I am sitting here this morning thinking about the marathon. We are heading out today to drive to Dufur and then we will head to Portland tomorrow. I have heard about these online time predictors based off of a recent race time. I decided to go check it out this morning for the heck of…

O’ktoberfest 10k
We got off work a half hour early to come home, change into running gear, and then head out the door to make it to the start of the O’ktoberfest 10k/5k Run Polka Beer race. We made it down with about twenty minutes to spare. We were excited to run this race on a Friday…

The Perfect Run
We woke up this morning, after having slept in a little tiny cabin that we rented for the night, to get ready for our last run that was longer than an hour before our marathon in two weeks. Our backs were a tad bit sore as Brent and I were cuddled up on a twin…

Gnated to Sloppiness
It started out as a simple 5 miler on our normal route. We were running in the evening rather than our usual morning runs. It was nice to have been able to sleep in as the early morning runs are starting to get harder to do. The sun has disappeared and is not showing back…

21 Miles of Elevation Profiles
When Jess and I set out on our 21 mile run last weekend, I was hoping for an experience closer to that of our 16 mile run a few weeks back. Unfortunately, the experience was rough. You can of course read all about it here and see Jess’ account of the run. My story did deviate…

21 Miles – The Good and Bad
We woke up yesterday morning to the sounds of a thunderstorm rolling through. As the thunder sounded and the lightening struck, we could feel our house shaking around us. The rain was pouring down as we looked out the window trying to decide what to do with our 21 mile run we had planned for…
